Look Mum, i found Hogwarts!!! Couldn’t help but to unleash my inner child as I was transported to the magical world of Harry Potter. From the Hogwarts Castle, the much-beloved butterbeer from The Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade village, the Flying Car - badly beaten by the Whomping Willow, and so much more that my camera couldn’t capture! Who else is a Harry Potter geek out there?? 🤓 . #hipstertravels #universalstudios #universalstudiosjapan #hogwarts

First visit to Kyoto would be incomplete without checking in at this iconic thousand torii gates... . #hipstertravels #fushimiinaritaisha

Not quite a Glico Man, but jumped to my heart’s content anyway! A visit to Osaka would be incomplete without checking out Dotonbori, a sprawling riverside entertainment complex studded with bright neon lights, eateries, shops, etc. If you wander deep enough, you’ll possibly stumble upon the red light district. . #hipstertravels #dotonbori #glicoman #osaka

When in Tsukiji fish market, gotta eat lotsa sushi, chirashi bowl or seafood right? However me being anything but a seafood lover, chose to buy other stuff like tamagoyaki on a stick (¥100), ichigo daifuku or mochi stuffed with strawberries (¥300), etc 😅 We were so lucky to get one last glimpse of the world famous fish market, before it relocates to another location this year! . #culinarybonanza #tsukijifishmarket #daifuku #ichigodaifuku

Only in Japan: this local legendary burger is actually worth the hype & price! But of course, when I miss Western food here, fish & chips & fudge brownies cake with vanilla ice cream can’t go wrong! . - Oedo Kakiage Burger (JP¥1,980 + tax) crispy tempura on top of tender & juicy beef patty, cheese & lettuce, served with tempura sauce gelee & fries . #culinarybonanza #hardrockcafejapan #hipstertravels

An affordable place to eat steak in Japan! Stand up only eateries are very common in Japan, from noodle bars to steak diners. The absence of seats possibly helped to make the price more affordable. All in all still an delish & satisfying meal! . We ordered: - 200gr grain-fed beef Rib-Eye steak ¥1,380 - 300gr Wild Hamburg Steak ¥1,100 - 300gr Angus Beef Wild Steak ¥1,390 - Glass of red wine for ¥600, which sadly tasted more like sour grape juice, although the wine was a well known Spanish label. I guess it’s got to do with how they stored it. . #culinarybonanza #ikinaristeak #shibuya

Delicious final meal before departing Japan...still can’t forget the taste of those tender &juicy slices of black beef, served with black sauce & runny omelette. . Japanese Black Beef Steak Rice Bowl ¥1,810 . #culinarybonanza #poundya #hanedaairport

Admiring the traditional house’s exterior & beautiful small streets in Kanazawa’s Higashi Chaya district. You’d be lucky to spot the ever-elusive geisha walking between appointments in this area! . #hipstertravels #higashichaya #kanazawa

Super cold water and strong current, don’t care. Still braved myself & waded my way to this spot for photos 😛 The beautiful waterfalls is a sight to behold, ain’t it? . #hipstertravels #shiraitofalls #shiraitonotaki #fujisanactivities
